Item description from seller

1997. ix, 147pp. Light wear to edges. The book is otherw in excellent condition with no inscriptions. B&W images, maps and plans throughout. "The story of Aberdeen is a tale of two historic burghs, Old and New Aberdeen, which developed in very different ways. Old Aberdeen was established as a bishopric in 1125/1130 and its influences were ecclesiastical and academic. New Aberdeen, on the other hand, grew because of its importance as a market and trading centre, having been granted the status of a king's burgh in the twelfth century. Over the last twenty years, archaeologists in the city of Aberdeen have excavated some of the best-preserved evidence for past life in Scotland's historic burghs. Historic Aberdeen describes the parallel history, archaeology and physical evolution of Old and New Aberdeen, and explores what further archaeological evidence of the city's historic past might survive beneath the streets, buildings and open spaces of present-day Aberdeen. This book is part of the Scottish burgh survey-a series designed to identify which areas of Scotland's historic burghs are of archaeological interest.".
